- ... aspects. The crimes are starting to vary. It's not like in the past, where kids only stole candies or disobeyed curfew laws. Now children steal, murder, rape and use drugs.

- ... female who has found herself with an unwanted pregnancy? Her options are few motherhood, adoption or abortion.

- ... Federal Financial Aid and grants are need-based programs. Denying this aid to students convicted of a drug charge is not the answer.
